You may want to do that if you get tired of walking, but I wouldn't worry about needing to do it because you feel unsafe. The Strip is always busy and I feel safe all the time when walking there. I've never been outside at 3:00 in the morning, though...
Just be aware of your surroundings and have a great time.
Correct--you can't flag down taxis. Taxis only pick up from taxi stands or where you call them to. Allowing them to pick up on the Strip would cause havoc.
I wouldn't even feel unsafe on the Strip if there weren't others around--casino security covers the approaches, not just inside. Look around--you'll find plenty of camera domes.
